National Digital Stewardship Residency 2018-19 Residents Selected

Published 05/14/18

The Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) in partnership with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, have selected four candidates for the 2018-19 class of the National Digital Stewardship Residency for art information professionals (NDSR Art). The residents will begin their twelve-month appointments in July 2018.

In April 2016, the Philadelphia Museum of Art was awarded a grant by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to develop a program focused specifically on digital stewardship in relation to the arts, with a particular focus on new media and arts information. The 2018-2019 residency will be the second of the program’s two nationally dispersed cohorts. The 2018-2019 NSDR Art projects were selected by the NDSR Art advisory board for their merits as an independent project and contributions to the field. Criteria considered in the applications were a project’s design, institutional support for the project, the ability to provide adequate resources for a resident, and the opportunity to develop models for collaborative work in the new-media era.
